ommunity service is one of the Avenues of Service which encourages Rotarians to offer service to their communities. Every Rotary club and every Rotarian assumes a responsibility to find ways to improve the quality of life for those in their communities and to serve the public interest.

Community Service defines Rotary’s character, is the basis for its appeal and visibility in the community and is the reason Rotary continues to grow. Community Service responds to the needs of the local community. The top Community Service priorities for clubs are best determined by examining the assets and needs in the local community and developing a response. This ensures that Rotary will not function in isolation but be an active part of the community with projects that are relevant and effective.

One way that makes the heart feel better is that mindset of an engaging servitude to one’s community in form of community service. Volunteering to change other people’s life becomes the number one priority to people who value the ideals of togetherness and shared prosperity within the community at large. The most important thing I cherished about community service is the opportunity to make a mark on both local and global communities.

Many a great minds and community activists see community service volunteering as an avenue to exhibit compassion show understanding and solve nagging problems by proffering veritable solutions. Volunteering and services provision can also be an effective advocacy tool.

Community service volunteering is simply the best way to showcase one’s talent and help to improve communication skills through best practices; it is unarguably the best way to create mutual relationship among people. There are many reasons to choose community service as a club pri-

ority of one’s day-to-day activism of life. While some individuals engage in community service just because it is the quickest way to get noticed and be acknowledged, some others simply take it as a way of life.

Community service volunteering can also be an avenue to explore areas that interest you most. Volunteering has no time limit; you can volunteer as much as little as you’d like or have time for and still feel some intense of fulfillment which makes you happy and heart relieved. Not only is community service fun and highly rewarding, but it is also a very good way of imparting what you have learnt to many people in your community.

Peace Tayo Kabarangay Project RC Narvacan, through its “Peace Tayo Kabarangay” Project, lectured at Brgy. Bulanos Narvacan, Ilocos Sur, about the importance and the procedure of the Katarungang Pambarangay Law to attain peace and unity within the community. This activity was attended and participated by the Lupong Tagapamaya and Pangkat Tagapagkasundo of the barangay to enhance their knowledge on the application of the said law. They were also given the necessary training to improve their mediation skills needed for the resolution of disputes filed before them. Through this project, conflicts within the community are expected to be settled and resolved within the barangay level and need not go to court litigations. This way, speedy administration of justice and peace between and among neighbors/families will be achieved. This project is in line with the peacebuilding and conflict resolution area of focus of Rotary International. Partner in this endeavor is the PAO-Narvacan Office.
